Alex for his part had a rather lively childhood; having exposed him very early to worldly atmospheres. Thanks to a fairly notable father in the field who only wanted to encourage the skills of his offspring. And, when this one was propelled diplomat in the Hexagon, he took care to take the little Al with him, where the young schoolboy grew up far from the native vibrations. Until his return to the home, where he reconnects with atavistic fervors. Pitting him against cutting-edge sounds dominated by: DP, Scorpio, Bossa, Tabou, Skah-Shah, Magnum, Djet X, Caribbean. So many approaches that will awaken the musical understanding of the young contender baladin who is rather fond of vocalism. While taking it upon himself to learn the guitar, his bedside instrument, as an autodidact. But,

It is for him the prelude, with his relevant performance; giving the reply to the one who is at this time the rising star. Capoise Danielle Thermidor in Hey , a duo of “ samba bolero ”,through which Alex proved his potential as a budding vocalist; on purpose of a skipping pitch. And a convincing vocation which reveals artistic possibilities to explore. Although at this stage, music is only the domain of leisure. Since the teenager must apply to classical studies and, ensure that parental dreams, become an enarque, are also in good shape. Even when you have an artistic destiny. Between student obligations and a society in perpetual demand; it is the intensification of the collective exodus that leads young people like Alex to come and settle in the state. Where his musical interest intensified; scrutinizing the multiple contemporary thunders including the digital era, which instituted the tonal genesis of the time.

EDDY, ALAN, GERDY, ZSHÉA, RÉGINE INTRODUCED THEMSELVES AS THE GENERATIONAL BRAND OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE EIGHTIES.

In this craze, the young prospector also provided his own recording studio (Right in front of Don Fred’s record store on Nostrand Avenue, in Brooklyn), in order to take part in future musical perspectives. At the same time, it is also the time of university studies in computer science at City College, where he made contact with an apprentice musician whose name is Eddy Saint-Vil a “ wiz-kid ”, singer and guitarist in his spare time. of relaxation. Both animated the cultural evenings on campus; which allowed Alex to rekindle the fire of his fleeting success Hey.Obviously, the current goes between the two and, Alex invited Eddy to join him in his studio projects, started with bassist Gardy Jean Charles. Striving to adapt to the synthetic keyboard, with his exploratory guitarist abilities. Taking the lead to concoct the ingredients that have developed the tones that will generate an all-out wave. 

 

The studio has become an inevitable passage for many contenders, who also dream of being headliners. Whether they are Ruydens (Papash), Régine Thadal, Jean Emmanuel Thadal, Zshéa, Tantann, Sito Cavé Jr, and among many others, his elder Alan who does not reach everyone. With the exception of Alex who thinks he has the stamp he needs to challenge the traditional vocal clichés. In addition, with the digitalized concept in vogue, no need to jostle at the gates. Finally, the maestro after having schematized the outcomes, names the group “Zin” and with Eddy, Alan, Gerdy, Zshéa, Régine are introduced as the generational brand of the second half of the eighties. According to distinctive parameters and a lighter format that have made them particular compared to other heavyweight formations. Like that, 

It is therefore in the form of a combo that Alex immediately took the sound environment with his “Zin”. In the development of accessible music designed for dance, a harmonic scheme prioritizing acoustic technology combined with a succulent tempo haloed by Dadaist lyrical. Propelling an exciting cocktail able to generate the atmosphere for the unconditional “Zinyeurs”. While showing versatility as an emblematic guitarist, on purpose solo leaps, successions of chords and combinations made of variability and sobriety. Composing a complementary duo of distinct and nuanced strings with Eddy Saint-Vil. But also as an enterprising keyboardist with a more ardent techno-synthetic brand that has thrilled girls and ” hobbyists ” so much. With a versatility that allows him to transform into rapper and exalted cantor. In any case, always in the oven and in the mill, it isThe quintessential ‘Zin man’ with his ‘showman’ ability, able to motivate the crowd.

 

In addition to his status as a leader and arranger, Alex is also one of the most prolific composers of the group with hits like  : kòk, pataje, pale pale w, rara dous, konpa-Zin, vini, nou tout ansanm, bad boy, all the way, konesans, konpa nou, souke dada w, pran san w, bit konpa, bayoliand so many others. Also accumulating the roles of producer and sound engineer, empowered in this sense by his specialty in computer science. With his ” A’Lab Studio ” in Church Avenue in central Brooklyn which has been a sanctuary for new artists. And also Zin Records and Hit Music Factory for distribution, promotion and production. His initiatives have revolutionized many approaches in the arena of ambient music, business and entertainment. Freeing this generation from the whims and gripping grips of apprentice producers. Nevertheless, under its allied command of Eddy and Alan, the “Zin” made triumph of concepts and arguments which received the reverence of a multitude of adherents. 

 

And that, from the end of the 80’suntil the beginning of this millennium which saw the group plagued by external ailments. When the symbolic voice of the group Alan, wanted to take leave of the band to embark on a career as a soloist. In addition to other more modern formations like “Carimi” which came to extract a good part of their audience. In this context, without their favorite vocalist, the group decided to take a break. And Alex is forced to reorient his career in production. And it is in the country where his expertise in computer science is in demand in firms, that he went to settle. He is also at the origin of the popular show “Haitian Idol”. Although its most convincing initiative remains Télé-Mix, a new television channel whose noble mission remains the promotion and enhancement of local culture. More, when the “Zin” comes out of his sabbatical at the insistence of the fans. This allows Alex Abellard to rediscover his artistic feelings in the soul. Always ready to move the kidneys.
